Remember When You Were First On My Lot?

hi! i've been on here for some time and definitely i was a newbie once and i remembered being very excited to participate in discussions as well as earning my first mylot milestones... like my first BR, first 100 posts and mylot reputation/ star, reaching 500 posts and reaching 1000 posts. i may not be as active as other veterans here because i don't spend as much time in the discussions. your discussion here is kind of a reminder for all of us to be nicer and more accommodating to one another especially for newbies. yes, sometimes some mylotters can be quite blunt when they can rephrase their message in a nicer way so as not to discourage newbies from asking, learning and enjoying in the site. this got me into thinking how i am with newbies in the site... because sometimes, when we have been here for so long we tend to forget how we were when we were just starting out. i guess i was more fortunate back when i was a newbie. everyone was so welcoming and friendly back then... vets were very helpful especially in providing tips on how to have quality posts and earning better in the site. (it was just close to 100 thousand members that time. and now the population has doubled.) i had hoped that i have shared as much as i have learned over time. these days, i only get to do a few posts every now and then... just enjoying spending time in the site. i guess i am of those you have mentioned who avoid discussions that have been repeated several times or could probably be deleted. when i see some mylotters have already responded to newbie questions regarding mylot... rather than give my own response, i move on to other discussions. now i realize i could have been more helpful still. but i figured others have been helpful in their responses already so i need not add mine anymore. oh well, let's just hope everyone keeps a friendly atmosphere around here. hehe coz i tell you, i had a few brushes with a very few vets also... who are not as nice. good thing they are only a few. but i think they also meant well. hehe i think. have a peaceful mylotting!

Hi snoopyfan, I´m very sorry that you have had this reception from some mylotters. But please don´t think that everyone is the ssame. That is not true at mylot nor in any place in the world. There are nice people everywhere: you´ll find them here. I just came back from a stay of 3 days at the hospital (shoulder surgery). I was moved with all the mylotters that wrote with good wishes, prayers and positive energy. As you see, there are diferent ways of saying it, but the good will is there. I would suggest you not to mind the complaining people. Youll be playing their game if you do. Mylot has rules, as it should, and everyone of us have had posts deleted at the begining (and sometimes when we should have known better). That is ok, it´s nothing against anyone, it´s not something personal. Just learn to find your own friends and enjoy. WELCOME!!!

Well i do not remember the first time i was on mylot as it was quite some time ago at that time i was joining it a means to earn money but was never quite online enough to make money after that i left coming to this site for a 2 years i think. In that time i had done many diffrent sites but not tried forums so i decided to become active out here on mylot. And once i started here renewed it has been quite some time now... I have been posting quite frequently now.

I was very excited to find mylot. I found it by accident one day I think while looking for blogs. I don't have many friends, and this is a great way to connect with people. It is also nice that it's a way to make some change to buy a soda with or maybe a gallon of soy milk, not much more than that-LOL! I don't newby bash, because we all were new, once.

i was referred here by a friend of mine and if i had any questions about stuff on the site i would just ask her. I remember when i first joined up there was so many different things to look at all of the interests and everything like that and so many discussions to look through and it took me awhile before i was used to everything myself. I think all you can do is learn by doing especially on here and we all make a few mistakes and we learn from them and we move on and we try to do better. I have no problem helping someone new out if they have a question. I know that i don't know everything about the site since i haven't been here any tremendous length of time, but i know enough that i could help out someone new if they have a basic question and some people would rather just ask others then to look in up in the frequently asked questions section of the site and there is nothing wrong with being nice and helping out someone new, since that is what it is all about participation and if you want participation in your discussions it is always helpful to be nice to others and they may reward you in the same manner. I've always thought of what we earn as a nice bonus and the main thing is to exchange opinions and to get views of others and see what everyone thinks about certain topics. It's always nice to get others opinions and views on certain things even if it differs from your point of view and it can be a nice exchange of ideas. As long as someone is nice to me i will always be nice to them in return and i think that is the best way to be the whole do unto others as you would want done on to you.

i m just 5 days old on mylot that feeling is still here......beginner as u say...

I enjoy the thoughts and words of wisdom and leanings from my lot. To me the money is a bonus. I am fairly new here as well and some of the post about newbies are offensive but that is how we learn and grow as a online community. I think there should be less negativity. If someone can't find something better to post about then they should just respond to others postings.

i am new also here. and have read some rude comments from vets mylotters. we cannot escape from reality that there are some people who just want to annoy other mylotters. they don't have a positive virtue which could help newcomers like myself. they tend to discouraged these new members to express themselves. well, to these rude people, if you dont like the discussion, just ignore it and don't comment on the issue/discussion. we have all the freedom to express here as long as it is abiding the rules here in mylotting. i find the discussion here very enriching and encouraging to other mylotters. so to those veteran people of mylotter help us new comers here and dont "push us" that we tend not participate in the discussion anymore. we need your encouragement and wise advices. have a peaceful weekdays ahead of us.

yeah, it was so far away, it was yesterday haha, who else is in my situation?

my first day of mylot is today... before I had one mylot account,i got bored with mylot and stop using this... again today i started because these days i have lot of free time..
